Default looking for help with head gasket!

Is there anyone in the east who is up for helping me with my head gasket? I need the engine taking out, i can get the heads skimmed and i think i can fit the new head gaskets

I am very short on money and just want to get out there on the track and use her!!!!

I hope to book a tester Session at Snetterton in september for 20 mins, hopefully she will make it through

I want to fit the steel gaskets so i can crank the boost up maybe to 1.1 bar. Its at 0.9 bar at the mo but its making the rad pipes Very hard and lots of foam is coming out of the coolant tank when i take the top off

It will be soooo nice when the head gasket is done so i dont have to worry about it and then can start to make her nice

sorry for going on

THANKS

why are you still driving this car? short on money? head and block skim is not cheap. add in the price of steel gaskets and putting the engine back in and your going to be down a right wedge.
